Premiership – AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Betting Preview

Since losing their main man Callum Wilson in the early stages against Stoke back in September, they have failed to register a win after losing five of their six matches. They have scored just four goals in those six matches but arguably their attack wont be their main concern at the moment as they have conceded 16 goals in those same six matches.

They are coming up against a Newcastle side that are just below them in the table and with it being a home fixture, they will see this as a great chance to get back on track. Newcastle have failed to win any of their previous eight away matches which will give Bournemouth confidence of stopping their losing streak here.

Newcastle have started the season disappointingly and currently sit in 18th place with just one win in eleven league matches. That win came against Norwich at home in a game where Newcastle more clinical than their opponents in a 6-2 drumming, that result seemed like it could be a turning point for the Magpies but then they were humiliated 3-0 in a controversial Tyne-Wear derby.

They looked strong once again last week away to Stoke but an in-form Jack Butland stopped from them from breaking the deadlock and the match finished 0-0. This is huge match for both sides as it could get either back on track but Newcastle will feel as if they have the edge and will be hoping to take some of the chances they create in this match.

Bournemouth are in dire at the moment after losing four straight matches heading into this game but they have faced very difficult opponents. Three of those matches were away fixtures against Manchester City, Liverpool and Southampton whilst the remaining fixture came at Home against Tottenham, none of which are easy fixtures by any means.

Newcastle are also in poor form heading into this match with just one win in their last five matches which came in a 6-2 thrashing of Norwich City but since that game, they have failed to score in their last two matches.

AFC Bournemouth Team News:

Bournemouth’s injury crisis has only been deepened as both Artur Boruc and Steve Cook have been added to the growing list that already includes Callum Wilson, Max Gradel and Tyrone Mings.

Newcastle United Team News:

Newcastle will be without Tim Krul and Jack Colback amonsgst other names for this game which means we should see Rob Elliot continue in goal as McClaren confirmed he is fit to play and Chieck Tiote in the middle.

AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Average Goals Per Game Statistics

In the six matches that have taken place between these two sides, there has been a total of 15 goals meaning that there has been an average goals per game of 2.5.

And in the three meetings that Bournemouth have hosted previously, there has been six goals scored meaning that there has been an average goals per game of exactly 2.

Both sets of data suggest that the game on Saturday should provide at least a couple of goals.

I think that Newcastle will be the stronger team in this match because although they have failed to score in their last two matches, they have been unlucky in both not to and against a Bournemouth side conceding as many as they are, I think they will find the net at least once here. Bournemouth have struggled both in defence and attack recently after suffering injuries to key players and I don’t think that it will get any better for them here. That is why my banker for this match is for Newcastle to either win the match or it end in a tie.

And for my saver, I think that this will be entertaining game as neither teams’ defence’s have looked strong this season and I think that we will see both teams score in this game. But I can see Newcastle putting at least a couple past Bournemouth here and I think that 5/1 for them to win in a game with both teams to score in is great value. Also I was tempted by Mitrovic to score either first or at anytime, both are good value.
